ParticipantGeez, I didn’t know there were that many people around here looking for something like this to happen. 😮
Hope there’s enough room for all the trailers…but Hammer Creek is just 2 miles down the road w/ about 10 camp spots & another 5 or 6 acres of flat ground…has water and bathrooms…I think its $3/night/vehicle in the camp spots. Guess I better check w/ the BLM to make sure of things…teeheehee.
Geoff: I haven’t had any input yet on suggestions for a solid date. It’s been narrowed down to late Sept. to mid-Oct. {Before hunting season kicks off – isn’t that the 20th?} Every one feel free to chime in on dates, here.
BTW Geoff… what’d you expect from someone who names themselves “Demented”? {Or was that the donkeys she was referring to?} It sounds like he’s got a 12-mule crew from the hood to put up against yer 4 big boys, Kristi…this is what happens when the draft world and the wrestling world collide! 12 midgets & 2 giants (Geoff’s Belgians aren’t they?) vs. 4 mammoth donkeys…who just might have their 2 cute little girlfriends Jenny-Mae & Little Bit in their corner to distract the crew…
“Are we rrreeaadyy to rrruuummmbbblllleeeee?!?!Ahem. Sorry.
I’ll go take my morning medications now.
😀ParticipantIf you could get them, some pictures would be really cool to see.
ParticipantOoohhh…that sounds like a challenge, Geoff – this could get interesting!
:pParticipantAnd I bet walnut-fed pork has much more flavor (and better) than corn-fed pork.

If I recall the posting Jen’s referring to, what she did was actually the solution that I remember – attaching a ring that’s too large to fit throughout the hame ring. Your ingenuity at choosing the used halter ring is just an added bonus! Nice work Jen and thanks for using a pic to give it a visual.
Geoff – That’s cuz Jen’s one of them smart Nordic girls, ya know.
😉ParticipantHi, LF!
Geogff’s right on about the directions…and you can see it from the main hwy = when you see the turnoff on the left for the Hammer Creek rec area, look across the river —> see that garden w/ the 1-eyed Jolly Roger flyin’ above it? 😀 Two donkey ‘parking valets’ will be on hand…carrot tips are welcome. {BAD Jenny-Mae! Quit stealing the keyboard!}
Geoff – You should’ve been at the Cottonwood equipment auction Sat. = a nice 2-horse dual axle w/ small tack “closet” for $300…very nice 3-horse slant w. tack “room” for $1100. We’ll figure something out on getting yer critters down here.
And it’d be uber-cool if anyone from the IDHMA wanted to show up.Participant@near horse 27452 wrote:
I’m in. I can bring down my JD sulky plow, also a 6 ft disc and cheesy homemade forecart.
And, somehow I’ll get my 2 horses there too.
Hhmmm…a plow that sulks powered by Jack Daniels & a forecart made out of cheese…
This will be interesting.ParticipantGeoff ~ Great! And aren’t admins supposed to take lots of photos to post on the site?
*How’s that for a subtle hint to bring your camera, huh?*
😀
ParticipantThat’s awesome, Erik! As far as I’m concerned, they can expand that to FIVE continents, and you shouldn’t limit yourself…you can be a link between the French farmers and the Northeast – AND the northwest!
ParticipantThank you for all that effort, Erik!
I’ve tried to get good vies of the systems they have on the website; I wish they had better detailed photos…
Perhaps it’d be easier for you to post photos of the various things they’ve got in there, then we/I could ask for more details on what strikes the interest? Because it sounds like a huge effort to translate and post much text.
Again, thank you for sharing.ParticipantSweet! 😎
ParticipantHi, J-L! Yeah, definitely before hunting season! Our either-sex season kicks off Oct. 20th, Ithink. I’ve got a wb plow and cultivator – plus I just picked up another cultivator for an atv or some such that I plan on trying this summer; the Demented Donkey Dame has a cart and wagon I’m gonna try to sweettalk her into bringing down when she brings her boys – 4 beautiful mammoths! She wants to learn to put them to work – she’s already got them great on roadwork (driving) and parades. Another gal hereabouts has a Percheron that she used to do commercial carriage work with. I’ll fetch down some logs for snigging. There’s a battlefield, a peach orchard and several other sights all within an easy 4 mile drive for roadwork…Hell’s Canyon is a 17 mile drive for those who want to take a side trip in their car. The site is one of the properties I have a market garden on – it’s a total of 7 acres, and most of it is brush and grass. There’s about 2 acres of BLM land next door that is also level, and has a port-a-potty on it. On the banks of the Salmon River = steelhead/salmon/chinook should be running then. I’m open to suggestions for an exact date in late Sept./early Oct.

Nobody would take you up on some free grazing?
Anyone who’s farming at all has been through something like this – the nature of the beast. Just keep on plugging Andy (BTW – you don’t have to use the grain alcohol to drink, if you went that route AND the fermented/distilled grain left over is a good protein feed). Lots of nice simple still plans online – easily within the fabrication skills of Andy Carson, Ltd.
Good luck.
Foxfire books have several plans/explanations in several books, that are, in fact, so easy that they can even be adapted by prison inmates…trust me, on this one {just don’t ask how I know}. :rolleyes:
ParticipantHave you considered the allopathic (sp?) of the rye? If you mowed it down & let it sheet-compost, between the smothering layer & the release of allopathic chemicals, you’d be knocking back a lot of your weeds. ATTRA has some good info about using it as a cover mowed down & planting produce in rows in it. So, since it will reduce the weedload, improve the tilth, and if the plot isn’t going to be used now for this year… lemonade out of lemons? I wouldn’t want it to head up into seeds, myself.
Just a thought.ParticipantThanks for the info, Geoff.
